Re: [Healeys] Memorial Day

["Len and/or Marge Hartnett" <thehartnetts@earthlink.net>]

"Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on 
the last Monday of May.[1] Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and 
women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.[2] Formerly 
known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to 
commemorate the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th 
century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died 
in all wars..."
